National Gamekeepers' Organisation Education Trust Launch Deer Management Lesson Plans

More News

The NGO ET is delighted to add a series of lesson plans and an accompanying workbook to the Deer Management educational resources.

Created by teacher, Nicola Sutton, the lesson plan series provides teachers with the guidance to make the best use of the fabulous resources about the UK's deer species. Nicola's work has provided the important link between our fact-filled resources and the classroom, making it easier for teachers to utilise those resources in a way that meets the demands of the National Curriculum.

The lesson plans guide teachers and students alike on a journey of exploration into the UK's deer species. Students will learn about it's life-cycle, habitat and management issues.

Nicola will continue to work with the NGO ET to produce further lesson plans for our other teaching resources.

You can find the resources on our website: www.gamekeeperstrust.org.uk

ABOUT THE NGO EDUCATIONAL TRUST

The National Gamekeepers' Organisation Educational Trust was established in 1999 and is Registered Charity number 1076923.

As the name suggests, its founding body was the National Gamekeepers' Organisation (NGO). But the NGO Educational Trust is an independent charity, with separate Trustees who are bound by the Charity Commission to conduct their work in a balanced and factual manner.

Forty-nine out of fifty people say they have never met a gamekeeper. Public knowledge of gamekeeping is very low and entirely dependent on what is reported by the media. We want to present the true facts about the profession. We particularly want the young to know what gamekeepers do.
